When we think of
Charity, we tend to think of giving to those less fortunate. While this is
indeed an admirable virtue, we would like to explore this a little deeper. Is
the underlying emotion/motivation behind this selfless or is there an
undercurrent of pity, guilt, or penance? Before you give of yourself or your
abundance to others, we ask you to explore a little deeper as to the motivating
factors surrounding your gift.
First, do you believe
yourself to be worthy of abundance? Those who have a limited view of themselves
may be embarrassed that they are gifted with treasure and feel unworthy both to
receive and give. If you feel yourself undeserving, you might begin by
examining what nerve of self-worth this triggers. Who or what made you think
you were unworthy? Why do you continue to cling on to this assessment? Is it
still true? What can you do to prove to yourself and others that you have
learned the lesson of self-worth and stepped forward to become a conduit of
self-love. You must first love yourself and embrace your own worthiness then
pass it on.
With the gift of
abundance comes responsibility. How can use this to distribute and invest it
wisely so that it’s power is magnified? Are you willing to take the time to do
the research, connect with the people and invest your own energy in seeing that
this gift does as much good as possible for the greatest number of people? What
will this mean as far as taking up your most precious commodity – time? Are you
willing to do what is necessary to make this energy available to others on the
path? What is the cost/benefit to you?
How do you judge those
worthy of receiving? Do you give unquestioning to those who have not managed
their own resources wisely or is there a greater responsibility to educate them
in ways to leverage this energy? Are you willing to allow them to make their
own choices and learn their own lessons? How can you do this consciously in order
to provide assistance and at the same time empower others to find their own strength
and resources?
What is really meant by
pay-it-forward and how can that become the process in the new paradigm. If you
live in a world of abundant resources and possibilities, how can you instill
this concept into your sphere of influence in ways that will be easily
understood and embraced by those on the path and replicated in their lives as
well? Each act of Charity you demonstrate plants a seed in others that will
grow into the forest of caring that can protect the coming generations. Of all
the lessons you can impart to those who follow is this not the Golden Rule of
existence that is most important and frequently ignored in our interaction in
the world of illusion.
Charity does begin at
home when we nourish those we Love without restraint. This plants the seeds and
the memories that those in our care will take with them as the go into a world
of darkness. The more these seeds of Light are shared, the brighter your world will
become. Be a beacon to others through the Charity you express to all you meet.
It is like the loaves and fishes, the more you give away, the more you
retain. Of this we suggest that you be
fruitful and multiply this kindness to others. And so it is…
I AM
